first a vob file comes from a dvd and then you do all this other stuff to make it usable....and my computer sucks so I only have 7gb to work with but I can make it happen

...man I wish I hade a 120GB hard drive

the VOB you rip will be about 1 gig for each episode, you usually rip all three episodes from a dvd in the same session, but you can do one at atime if needed...then the .avi's that you make from the vob's (one ep at a time) take about 350 megs, so you need at least 3 gigs to do a short series

my final video was 125 megs but i didn't shrink it at all from the source footage :p

All of my videos are either 720 or 704 pixels wide, yet they still obey the bitrate that I set for them

Anyway, the amount of space that you need depends on the method that you're using. If you work directly from ripped VOB files, then you're dealing with a maximum of nine gigs per DVD, usually a bit less. If you convert the VOBs into Huffy files and work with those, then you need like seven times as much space. And if you're using AVIs that you got from Kazaa or Morpheus, then it's whatever amount of space those take up.

my largest vdo was 5.1 gig of uncompressed video, but I had already compressed the rest of it - to give me space to do more editing on the Main StoryBoard ^^

I don't know why your amv is 5.1 GB post-it. My video was a 864 MB avi, uncompressed. Then I cmpressed it to a 47 MPEG.

Saeth1: AVIs don't need to be made so that cuts down on the storage space. I ripped the entire series of Trigun on my compter and it takes up 32 GB of space. making the AVS files and D2V file barely take up any space.

by the time I knew what clip were going where, I only needed to un-compress certain section to use for the re-build

the final AMV was about 22meg . . ^^ . . not to shabby either ^^

How do you compress your VOBs to get them them to be 3 gigs for a series?

He's talking about a short series, something like Read Or Die.

350 megs per episode is still pretty good....
